I’m trying to install a gfci in my garage. There are other outlets and a switched outlet on the load side of the gfci. When the switch for the switched outlets is on, neither the test button nor an outlet tester will trip the gfci. If the switch is off l, both work as expected. There are fluorescent fixtures plugged into the switched outlet of that matters. Can anyone shed light as to what’s happening?
Is the switch somehow controlling the GFCI device? If the GFCI device is wired correctly then the integral test button would trip it unless it was faulty.
